17538Re: Yusuf Sumantrihttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.asia.indonesia.general/626.1/mb.ashx
Hello. I was doing a search online for my old friend Yusuf "Don" Sumantri and I found your post. I think this is the same person. I met Don back in the mid 1990s when he was living in NYC. The last I heard was he moved to SF almost 15 years ago now. When I recently did a search for him online, I saw that he died in Houston, TX. If this is the same person, I'm so sorry. I have thought about Don over the years and had hoped we would some day reunite. Please, I would love to hear from you if you are his friend or relative. Do you know what happened to him?<br><br>Thank you much.<br>Matt2015-02-14 06:10:17Zsilkysheenhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.asia.indonesia.general/626.1/mb.ashxRe: My Great Grandmother named MARIA KOFIHOKOhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.asia.indonesia.general/262.2/mb.ashx

Hi,<br><br>I'm attempting to track down immigration records for Batavia, (Java) in the 1830's, particularly 1830. Do immigration/shipping/passenger records still exist for this period? If so, where would one look?<br><br>I have a Scottish (MacKenzie) ancestor that may arrived there in 1830. He left Batavia in 1836 bound for Port Jackson in the Colony of New South Wales.<br><br>He makes no reference to his time in Java; what he did there; who he was employed by, etc; But he does mention in his journal a good friend William Henry Douglas" dieing in Batavia on 10 December, 1836.

Hello,<br><br>Heliante (Heli) Drossaers and my mother were cousins I remember my "aunt Heli" quite well. An unforgettable character and my favorite aunt. The last time I saw her was when I visited her in a home for old folks in Reuver around 2001. I lost contact with her and presumed she must have passed away. I always have felt bad about not keeping a closer contact with her. I am sure that is of no particular interest to you, but what may be is that my father was very interested in genealogy and researched the Townsend line with great diligence (my mother's mother was a Townsend). I am pretty sure that his results are available someplace (possibly in the data base kept by the Mormon church). I also have a cousin in Australia (my mother's brother's son) who has a keen interest in his genealogy. If you are interested I can find you his address. 2014-08-26 01:53:29Zkuiper44http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.asia.indonesia.general/601.2/mb.ashxRe: BLEIJCKhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.asia.indonesia.general/9.26/mb.ashx

My ggg grandfather John Barratt is listed on the 1851 Swaffham, Norfolk census as having been born c.1816 in "Java, East Indies (British subject)".

By the 1861 census, his wife Mary Ann (nee Dent, b.

Hi Betty<br><br>This is a nice surprise to contact a cousin of my wife's ex mother-in-law Madelon Schelts van Kloosterhaus who is the daughter of Albertine's sister Dr.Emilie J Suzanna Houtman<br><br>I started the Houtman Family tree for my Step-daughter Ruth Harland which is where the Harland side comes in<br><br>Her son Albert has written a short biography<br><br>Suzanne Emilie Houtman-Ratulangie<br><br>by Albert Ratulangie<br><br><br><br>Suzanne Emilie Houtman was born in Jakarta (then Batavia), Indonesia, in 1890; she was one of the First Dutch Eurasian girls to go to University (in Amsterdam, Holland) to study medicine, and was the First Dutch Eurasian woman to get a doctorate (in neurophysiology) on the thesis: “On the influence of muscular tone on the tetanic contraction”, in 1917.<br><br>She was also one of the first Eurasian women who had the courage (in those days) to marry a native Indonesian (Samuel Ratulangie), a student of physics at Amsterdam University, in 1915.<br><br>The couple returned to Indonesia after World War I, and Suzanne Houtman Ratulangie went to practice in Bandung (Java) as a specialist in neurology and psychiatry. Her husband started teaching physics and mathematics, but later went into politics to become one of the leading Indonesian politicians. The marriage ended in divorce in 1926; they had 2 children, both became medical doctors.<br><br>Like most cities in South-East Asia, Bandung had a multi-racial, multi-tribal community, each race and tribe imposing on its members strict adherence to racial and tribal customs and traditions. Suzanne Houtman had patients of each division of society.<br><br>She was particularly interested in the problems relating to the mental strain of strict adherence to a rigid pattern of life, directed by racial and tribal culture, traditions, taboos, superstitions etc. She published several papers on this subject.<br><br>When war came to the Pacific, and eventually the Japanese invaded Java, worry about the future drove particularly many Chinese and Eurasians to her surgery. Although there was no proof, the Japanese seemed to suspect her being involved in some complot and interned her until the end of the war.<br><br>She suffered all the hardships the interns of ‘Tjideng-camp’ in Batavia had to endure (the Japanese commander Sonei after the war was tried as a war-criminal). When in 1945 she was released, she was only a shadow of her former self, suffering of beri-beri, and had lost more than one-third of her weight.<br><br>But within a week of her release she had set up a clinic again, dealing with the vast mass of released prisoners of war and civilian internees, working twelve or more hours a day. One day she practically collapsed in the surgery and it was decided she should be sent for recuperation to Australia.<br><br>She never quite recovered, her heart had suffered to much from beri-beri. When eventually she did recover, Indonesia had been granted independence, and under Sukarno’s dictatorship it was made plain that there was no place in what the Dutch-Eurasians had always considered their home country. Nearly half a million of them had to go to the Netherlands, the ‘mother-country’which the majority of them had never seen.<br><br>Suzanne Houtman remained in Australia with her second husband, a Dutchman who had served with the administration of the former Dutch East Indies, and eventually took Australian citizenship. She suffered of homesickness and eventually died of cancer in 1951, shortly after her 61st birthday, affectionately remembered by her many ex-patients of all races and tribes.<br><br>C.J.

My wife and I visited her relatives in Beijing and Indonesia in the Spring of 2010. We met some cousins that she had never known before, who live in Beijing. The cousins who live in Beijing spell the family name (in English) as Gui. Of course they use Mandarin and Congi characters for their native communication.<br><br>As for the relatives of my wife's mother, her family name is somewhat common on Belitung island, east of Sumatra. The family name is Linggarjati, but originally it might have been Lin or Ling. Not much is known about the origin of my wife's mother's family (at least not to the people I have met among my wife's relatives). Both the Kwie/Gui (father's surname) and Linggarjati (mother's surname) families are of Chinese ancestry. The Linggarjati family history may go back 4 or 5 generations in Belitung island. That is where my wife's mother was born.<br><br>My wife and I live in Houston, Texas, USA. My wife's Kwie relatives living in the U.S. live in Houston or other cities in Texas.

I'm looking for two brothers, Lammert and Hilke van Dijken. They were born in the Netherlands in the 1860's, ended up in Indonesia, married Indonesian women, and disappeared.

Hallo Peggy,<br>waarschijnlijk (denk ik) zijn we ergens familie. Mijn oma is ook een Milané en komt ook uit Indonesie. Ze vertelde me dat haar vader Mozes Milané geboren is in Djokjakarta en dat de familie van oorsprong inderdaad uit Italie komt. Ik was heel erg benieuwd welke informatie jij inmiddels hebt verzameld en of ik er wellicht ook eens naar mag kijken om te kijken of we overeenkomsten hebben.<br><br>Monique2013-04-28 14:13:45Zin7802http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.asia.indonesia.general/35.71.1/mb.ashxRe: Houtman Familyhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.asia.indonesia.general/295.2/mb.ashx

Family whom I have never personally met immigrated from Guangdong, China to Medan Indonesia in the 1950's. They were last seen around 1985 in Indonesia by an Uncle. There has been no contact to the family members, all that exists is a name and an address and old photographs of family members (who at the time were getting married. There are also pictures of the curent dwellings that they were in. Othe than that there are no other ties. <br><br>I have writen letters to the address, with no avail.

Thank you for the reference! I do not read Indonesian, so if you know whether this has been translated into either Dutch or English, that would be helpful. Otherwise, i will try to find or borrow a copy. 2013-08-25 05:02:48Z81hornedfroghttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.asia.indonesia.general/212.1.1/mb.ashxRe: Looking for HUIZING family from Indonesiahttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.asia.indonesia.general/548.1/mb.ashx
Hi Edwin,<br><br>My grandmother was called Huizing and came from Padang. Like your family they had been in Indonesia for many generations. Her family (including my mother) were in a Japanese camp during WW2, and left for Holland in 1949.2014-02-04 21:06:13Za_m_jongsmahttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.asia.indonesia.general/548.1/mb.ashxRe: Aartsmahttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.asia.indonesia.general/39.67.1.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx
Hello,<br><br>I kept tripping over references to relatives that I never knew that i had, particularly in North Jersey. People were quite convinced they knew someone, including a car dealer (!?)<br><br>I am a South Jerseyan and Long Islander myself but we never had any relatives up that way.<br><br>Finally deduced that there was another family, Aartsma or Artsma, running around that was being confused with Aardsma.<br><br>Aardsma is a variant spelling of Aartsma, which in turn is a variant of Aardema. In my case, Aardsma/Aartsma come from Ie/Engwierum area of Friesland with some people crossing over to Groningen (City). 3 generations of Aardsma came over in the late 1800's, one of my ancesters filed for citizenship in the last year of King Willem III and received final citizenship in the first year of Queen WHilhemina, so we came over at that time of royal transition.<br><br>Aartsma/Artsma I believe come from St. Annaparochie in the western part of the province.<br><br>As far as I know, just an amazing but true coincidence. No relationship yet known. Probalby just thanks to Napoleon's civil servants who mandated that everyone take a surname around 1811.<br><br>a friend of mine on the North American Dutch Genealogy Yahoo Discussion Group sent me a photograph of the tomb of an Artsma in Rochester, N.Y., which is where he is based, so you had relatives in that area. Rochester was a big center for Netherlandic immigration around 1900.<br><br>There are "Aartsma" on file at the Frisian Academy in Leeuwarden, one of those on file was a newspaper man killed in the terror bombing of Rotterdam in 1940. the others were various writers.<br>Some branch of the Aartsma family were in Indonesia for at least 5 generations.<br><br>I used to claim this for my family but now am not certain. There are Aartsma's who were killed in the war for Indonesian independence and are buried over there, I have seen a tombstone. I believe that they do come from my family.<br><br>According to one researcher in Lansing, Michgian, and confirmed by the Frisian Academy, "Aardema"/"Aartsma" and other names from "Arnout" which is a Frisian concept meaning "eagle king." THe Frisian Academy told me that they think that Aartsma would translate into "son of the one who rules the eagles." Pretty grandous for my small time farmer ancestors ("gardenier").<br><br>"Dutch Chicago" by Swierenga mentions, I think, 4 of my relatives.<br><br>"Frisians to America with the Baggage of the Fatherland" by Galema talks about families that emigrated from Ie/Engwierum that I do not recognize but may have been known to my family. She also followed other families from other parts of the province. She gives good background information on the different areas and the reasons for leaving.<br><br>Keep in mind that the Frisians are a different, older ethnic group than the Dutch, have their own language, and are also found iN Germany (East Frisian) and Denmark (North Frisian). Some Frisans went with the Jutes to Briton during the Germanic invasions. "Frisbie," various spellings, is a reminder of Frisian ancestry. The wonderful toy "Frisbee" is a corruption of "Frisbie" (Frisbie Pie Company of Boston), so I guess if it weren't for us Wham-o! would still be trying to market it under the name of "Pluto Platter" (original name for the product, which bombed badly).<br><br>W.
